TIM BARRUS: THE HA HA
![]()
I am a communist. I would read anything by Jamelle Bouie. To create a list of the deviant’s crimes, would take several issues of NYT. History will see the deviant as even more deviant than we knew. Mister Deviant, you are not running the world. Nanny has been busy. But…

Tim Barrus: Beating Up Bloody Bullies
![]()
I am a communist. All is not okay. I took the black pill a while ago. Full stop. The vibe here is: Agony. I put my children on a flight out of this sick and sickening country. Daddy stays in America to fight. All is not okay. I will not…

I am a journalist/novelist. It is art’s responsibility to hold a mirror up to reality. It is my job to make you feel uncomfortable. It is not my job or inclination to make you comfortable. Yesterday, I ended my interview with US soldiers. I had reached my quota. I asked…

HOMO SAPIENS
![]()
I am a communist. What does that mean. I don’t really know. I am attracted to the idea that Capitalism has no heart in its cold and bitter soul, and having studied civil societies for a long time, I would argue that we are still living with political paradigms that…

I am a communist. I like the sense of distance here in terms of stepping back, carefully. The background of the piece is telling me to be very wary because instability is unpredictability. The human brain is a predictability machine. It assesses risk. Here’s one: I predict summer. The…

Extinction Event

I am a communist. The whole Let’s Have More Babies fetish is a hay ride I cannot jump on. Babies in poverty is so unfair. We are worth more than that. Why is slavery always the answer. Just telling me that humanity will rot doesn’t make it through the filters…

Tim Barrus: David Brooks Calls For Massive Resistance
![]()
I am a communist. Finally, a voice at the New York Times is saying it. A mass civic uprising to overthrow the Deviant. I have one question. Where is Stormy. Where is General Milley. Where is E. Jean Carroll. Where is Liz Cheney. This is the short list. The long…

Tim Barrus: All Americans Are At Risk
![]()
I am a communist. This is the best thing Ezra Klein has done in his career. Some of us have been screaming this stuff from the rooftops. For years and years. No one listened then, and no one is listening now. I always thought there would be a big bang…

Tim Barrus: Harvard Is a Class Warfare Machine
![]()
I am a communist. Class and caste. I feel disoriented reading this. I was not educated at Harvard. I was educated in a grey depressed factory rust-town where the principal would shave your head if your hair touched your ears. That was the focus of education. Your hair and what…
